Pumas vs Sharks Preview


The Sharks won their first game of the season last weekend but I don't think that will affect the in-form Pumas. I expect the hosts to take the points at home.

Pumas beat the Sharks by 10 points earlier this season.

Pumas Form


The Pumas have made a solid start to the 2024 Currie Cup season, winning three of their four games.

A 44-24 victory at Griquas in round one was followed by a 75-21 defeat to the Lions on home soil. The Pumas bounced back to beat the Sharks 31-21 in Durban the following week.

Last weekend, the Pumas were in superb form once again, beating Griquas 66-26 at home. The performance was that of a confident team, dominating almost every aspect of the game.

Pumas Injuries & Team News


Pumas will likely make a few changes for this fixture.

Sharks Form


The Sharks are struggling this season with three defeats in four matches. They lost by a point to the Lions in round one before going down by three points to Griquas a week later.

In round three, the Sharks were beaten 31-21 at home by the Pumas. However, last week the Sharks showed what they are capable of, beating the Lions 35-22 in Johannesburg.

Sharks Injuries & Team News


The Sharks showed improvement last week and should have a similar side available this Saturday.

Verdict

Pumas are backed to cover the -8 handicap at home.
